Hello,

I'm trying to get a my nvidia FX5200 running smoothly on my p4 windows xp setup. I believe this is a driver issue as I managed to fix it before, however the last hdd in the system died, so I lost all the data on it, including the correct drivers.

Basically, everytime I try to play a 3d rendered game (Mechwarrior 2 mercs, Mechcommander 2, ect) the frames are awful. Well, more like when the action starts such as shooting weapons. The card lags out.

I've tried a number for driver versions going from 45.43 upwards, but I've not had any succsess. I know this card works as I managed to get it working in the past, but it was a good couple or years ago.

Can anybody help?

Can you show us rest of your build ? Most important is motherboard I think (especially its chipset).

I'm not familiar with MechWarrior series. Are the newer games also performing that bad? I.e Quake 3, NFS5 etc ?

Edit.
Ok. Mechcommader 2 is from 2001, so should be more or less period correct to your P4 setup.
